Kilik noted:

Heat and electricity seem part of the spectrum of qi. It is why hot will go to cold and vice versa, and not something else. Energy expresses itself according to qi balance.
Heat transfer has nothing to do with qi. By the way heat always flows from hot to a cold - it is never 'vice versa'.
I know you won't read or respond to this, I just like to hear myself type.

and many things have been shown to follow qi principles, even in the marco or microscopic realms.
A bold claim.
Do you have any evidence? Or, as I suspect, are you just repeating a line that somebody sold you?

Nah. Most are taught as sports. A friend of mine who did karate, once decided to hide in bushes outside the house of one of his karate class mates after ringing the doorbell. His class mate wasn't a slouch either. Big, though guy. Door opens, big guy walks out, and my friend jumps out screaming. The big guy screamed like a little girl with one leg raised, like you see in cartoons. LOL. Protection, uh huh ...
Myself, I'm an archer. Archery is actually pretty close to a martial art. This whole Qi business is merely a method to calm yourself and focus. There's nothing mystical about it. |
